What you didn't mention is that the rooms that are still
available have starting prices at about twice the rate listed in
the announcement and go up from there. So I wonder, is that a
block of 400 rooms at the IETF rate? Or a block of a few rooms
at the IETF rate with the rest of the 400 held for us at any
price the hotel thinks it can get?
Of course, if the contract were posted, even in redacted form,
we could presumably find that out, but the IAOC has decided that
information is too secret for us to know.
I was considering actually coming to that meeting, but, at circa
USD 450/room/night including taxes... not likely.
best,
